Yeah, but I'd think that most (but not necessarily all! Hehe! <EGM>)
dragons have enough power and willpower to successfully fend off a
"possession". They would make VERY powerful merges, especially if a good
merge is pulled off, but... I think the bugs probably know better than to
try most of the time...
Hmmm...
Really evil run idea is forming...
Imagine if a good merge fleshform, or even a shaman, hires a runner team to
capture a young dragon (And I even have the young dragon in ind... My
platyers have met her before :)), so that hive can subdue and torture the
dragon down to the point where it couldn;t resist the possession...
Ewwww.....
Nasty! :]

I'm still not sure why FASA Chose to make the bugs go for Human hosts,
probably mostly to keep the horror factor up... After all, if the hive
will settle for a Puppy host instead of a human host, they cease to be
quite as nasty as they could be,,,
But I'd definately think that the bugs COULD use other animals... Tehy
just aren't preferred...
